Tones Travelling through Time.

The past stands for tradition, the Here and Now stands for modernity and looking to the future is visionary and pioneering.

Looking back to tradition is associated with warmth and cosiness, classics and ambition (colour theme: Timeless). The present means modernity, globalisation, media worlds, computers, speed plus intense and radiant colours (colour theme: Dynamic). In contrast to this, the future thrives on visions – virtual, cool, futurist and correspondingly “spacy” colours: metallic, cosmic (colour theme: Virtual).



Clean Cuts

Silhouettes, clear-cut forms and new lines determine the look here.
Decoration and intrinsic details only get in the way. Sophistication clearly feeds on the cut here and the layered way of wearing these styles.

The A, H and O lines are already established silhouettes. Newcomers here are the ‘cube’ line (loose square shape), the X line stressing the waistline and the Y line underscoring the shoulders.
